Cooling Extinguishings
Cooling extinguishing is very common among fire extinguishing methods.
Especially water cooling is one of the most common. Due to the excellent physical and chemical properties of the water, it receives heat from the flammable material by strangling the flammable material and makes a great contribution to extinguishing the fire. During the extinguishing of the fire, we can use water as a large mass by pouring it, but also by spraying.

Extinguishing with cover
This extinguishing happens with solid materials. We can extinguish the fire before it grows by
contacting different solid substances such as soil, sand, wet, rugs, carpets, such as in the fire zone. During this process, we try to extinguish the fire by stopping fire from the contact with oxygen in a short time. 

Scattering Flammable Material
With the scattering of burning material, high temperature of the fire radiates around and slowly begins to extinguish. But this method is not used everywhere. Because when this method is used, fire can spread and cause trouble. Because of this reason, this method is not used in dangerous places such as gas stations.

Extinguishing with Choking
This transaction is made in order to drifting apart the fire from oxygen or decreasing their contact. This method is a very effective method to extinguish fire in a short time. Especially when it is used in fires in airless environments with low oxygen, it acts quickly and extinguishes the fire. Interventing to fire in a short time is very important to prevent the fire from having devastating consequences. Fire powder is a very useful method in extinguishing transactions. For this reason, fire extinguishing methods should be used in pursuant of the fire. It is also very important to use fire fighting methods in the right place.
